Spreadsheet Dojo Widget
Marius Hanganu released a Spreadsheet Widget written in Dojo... it is pretty impressive, and pretty heavy at the same time. Dojo is incredibly powerful, but this widget max'ed out my CPU for about 30 seconds... not so impressive. You can view the demo here. If your browser does not respond just have patience... I know, I know, but it's still in beta, has some bugs, and hopefully will not have these performance issues once it hits 1.0.
Here's a list of features from the author's site.
Features
- Based on Toolbar and TabContainer widgets
- Keyboard cell navigation
- Column, row resizing
- Cell, column and row selection
- Cell formatting (font, font size, bold, italic, underline, color, background color)
- Sheet management (rename, delete, new)
- Functions (22 math functions, 6 string functions)
Status
- This widget is definitely not final and has several bugs
- Tested with Firefox and IE only
- On IE runs slower than Firefox
- If it would be released as an independent piece of software it would be labelled as 0.7 version
Goals for "1.0" version:
- Fix all remaining bugs related to column, row resizing and selection
- Support cell presentation format (dates could be displayed as mm-dd-yyyy, numbers as xx.xx, etc)
- Support for date functions
- Post spreadsheet data in JSON format to be saved serverside
- Improve validation
CFUNITED Videos Available
You can now purchase CFUnited's video package, which includes every session, showing the presenter and the slides simultaneously. The price for people who did not attend the conference is $649. For those who did attend the price is $200, nice discount! I think companies will have no problem at all purchasing this and share across the CF department.
Model-Glue Documentor
A question came up in the MG lists and I though I would share it... It was regarding documenting process flow in MG... though the question was really expecting to get a nice flow chart of events, broadcasters, listeners, controllers, models, two interesting links came back from the archives:
Ray Camden's MGDoc, a Model-Glue documentor
Wayne Graham's Model-Glue Documentor XSL

Check out this new & free Ajax magazine that will focus on topics relating to Ajax with a slant on the JQuery library.
If you haven't heard of JQuery, I would definitely recommend you check it out, it's a very powerful JavaScript tool.
Its definitely some good reading and well worth picking it up. And you certainly can't beat the price!
